There was no place to go. Cass had led them into a cul-de-sac. Zach and Maya barreled around the corner into the same space. They were dismayed by the ashen look on Cass’s face.

“Back here,” Cass said, signaling that they should take up positions on the far side of the crypt. Cass stationed herself just around the corner from the entrance. She braced herself against the wall, sword pointed toward the corner, level with her own head, ready to impale whoever came careening around the corner next.

She only had to wait a moment. The ploy worked better than she’d expected. A vampire about her size, all black leather straps, buckles, and tassels, ran head first into the blade.

A country Western vampire? Cass wondered.

Cass threw her weight into to blade, pitching the woman to the floor and severed her head. She crumbled into a pile of white ash.

The next one, though, arrived, before Cass could recover and brace herself again. The second vampire blew around the corner and ran right into Cass, knocking them both over. Cass ended up on the bottom, her sword-arm pinned at an awkward angle. This woman was considerably bigger than the last, her mass straining her snakeskin leather to its limits. Cass couldn’t help but admire the kind of confidence it took to wear an outfit like that.

The woman grabbed Cass by the shoulders and shook her. Cass hit the woman hard under the chin with the heel of her free hand, snapping the woman’s mouth shut and severing the tip of her tongue. The bit tongue fell to the ground and flopped there. They both paused for a moment and looked at it, bewildered, then the woman’s eyes went black and she shook Cass again. She banged Cass’s head against the stone floor and offered a slurred snarl, ready to sink her bloody teeth into Cass’s exposed neck.

BLAM. BLAM.

Maya fired two shots into the vampire’s chest and the woman slumped to the floor, injured but not dispatched, trapping Cass beneath her weight.

Maya cleared the corner of the crypt, her pistol aimed at whoever might come around the corner next. When no one did and everything—for the moment—seemed quiet, she reached down with one sleeveless arm, grabbed the vampire by the seat of her snakeskin pants, and hoisted her off of Cass. Cass struggled to her feet, rubbed the back of her head, and buried her sword in the vampire’s heart, turning her to ash.

Cass felt a little unsteady on her feet and her vision was blurry. Worse, waves of black emotion—fear, anger, despair—were crashing against the weakening barricades in her heart, threatening to break loose. She staggered back a step, placed a hand on the wall for support, and tried to clear the cobwebs from her head.

Zach was busy looking for another way out. They couldn’t go back the way they’d come, but that didn’t mean that they were as trapped as they seemed. He closed his eyes and tried to extend his awareness into
